Pauline, thank you so much for am incredible afternoon of fun. We absolutely loved our tour with you, and cannot wait to come back. You taught us so much, both about Devonport and about riding Segways. It was so lovely to meet you. Tarsha and Kristian 🌸
Fantastic- thanks Pauline. We had great time. The tour was excellent. If you want to see a little bit of Devonport- this is the way to do it. Lots of fun and a wee history lesson as well.
Thank for a great time in deven Port first time on a zegway was, alot of fun the instructions was easy to follow our tour guide knew alot about the area and gave us some recommendations to do later that was helpful we got some lovely views area Devon Port and some free time on the zegway highly recommend
Informative friendly team and both journeys on time.
Had an amazing time. The crew and the service was top class. Would highly recommend it to anyone!!!
The America's Cup Sailing Experience is highly recommended. Very cruisy to get to taste a bit of the race and enjoy the harbour. The crew is super experienced and friendly. The boat is super safe and calm! Thank you!
What a great afternoon we spent with skipper Alex and crew Elliot, Jordan and Holly. We helped raise and lower the sails and we all got a chance to rake the helm, whilst racing around the bay. Alex told as lots about the boat and sailing tips too. This was an experience I will never forget!
I took my 18mth old for the first time and he had the best time! We will definitely be visiting more often
My family visited us from India and they just loved kelly tarltons. From cute penguins to giant shark and sting rays, everything was adorable.
Excelente experiencia , recomendado para ir con niños pequeños 😃
Thoroughly enjoyed the experience, thank you so much!
It was nice to visit again. Some areas may need an upgrade but overall a great day with the kiddies
It’s good for a small country like New Zealand. If you’ve been to Singapore, USA etc and other countries with aquariums it’s going to look very small. There were people there not wearing masks and coughing close to my baby during red level when Omicron is in the community so it’s not recommended during this time as it’s in a small enclosed space. My baby enjoyed it.
We had a wow of a time with the interaction with all the displays. My family was treated famously by the friendly staff who were so informative. Nice family time for all ages
Fascinating King penguins.
The team were very friendly and helpful. It was a nice day out and we saw lots of dolphins but no whales. The crew decided it wasn’t enough ans that we deserved a return voucher so we can come back again anytime. It was a bumpy ride so make sure you bring some weatherproof clothing.
It was a lot of fun because it was the first time I went fishing with my son on a boat. I highly recommend doing this type of fishing.
It was an awesome experience, very soothing watching the ocean creatures. Would have been nicer if it was a little longer but loved it all the same.
Penguins, octopus, shark ... what not... you can watch them so closely!! Great job team .... keeping the place tidy.
2yr old and 5 yr old really enjoyed their time at Sea Life. It was great to see their excitement at every exhibit
Happy staff & thank you Jenna for showing us the star fish and letting my daughter touch one. The turtles are so cute ❤️
Highly recommend for those whom have toddlers/kids obsessed with Finding Nemo/Dory. Twas my husbands first time visiting Kelly Tarltons too and he enjoyed it. Theres a playground n cafe fairly close to the entrance so be sure to have a light breakfast so you can have a heavy lunch whilst the kids run off all their energy 🤣
Very educational and many interactive activities for all ages. Very friendly staff! Awesome work Kelly Tarltons!
Excellent
Went there for school holidays. Kids love it! Will be back in a couple of years 😊
Negatives : the travelator tanks were very dark and gloomy. No coloured fish, coral or coloured ornaments/props, just Grey fish and dark tanks. The penguins really need a larger enclosure. We stood by a window which had a few next to it and they looked very sad - reminded me of the happy feet movie. We also noticed a beautiful turtle non stop hitting the edge of the tank, maybe hoping there would be an exit. :-( The octopus REALLY needs a friend. He's so tiny and alone :-( Positives: The staff were Very FRIENDLY, especially as we took our severely Autistic nephew with us. They were understanding when he would be loud or brushed past people. The divers in the travelator tanks - thank you for taking the time to stop cleaning and wave to the kids! It was a highlight for my 5yr old. Great to see all the animals healthy and well looked after. All in all, it's a great cost effective place to spend a day with family, especially learning about our sea life. All Though i personally do not agree with animals in captivity, you can clearly see these animals are well looked after and cared for. Hopefully the next upgrade will be a big loop around tank, so the penguins and turtles can swim/play more freely, rather than being met by walls.
Kelly Tarltons is awesome. The penguin exhibit at the start is gorgeous (they seemed very attracted to my daughter’s penguin hat) and we had a great day. The only sad part was that they weren’t enforcing their mask rules. There were lots of signs around and announcements regarding wearing masks when not eating or drinking, but at least 30-40% of people weren’t wearing them.
Really cool place to see sea life up close. Coloring in and playground for the kids awesome
It's important now more than ever to support these businesses and the good work they do. We had a great time there and because it was quiet when. We arrived it felt nice and I got some great pics. Laurie was in training for the tank talk and she did very well. It was fun and engaging.
We loved it
Enjoyed watching my 6yo daughter’s face light up with excitement seeing everything for her first time! The booked times made the whole experience more pleasant i.e not so packed, could easily move around, seating available to have a rest, enjoy the exhibits & not feel rushed. Having a voucher made it all more wonderful. Overall it was an awesome adventure had by all!
It was great experience. Must try
Perfect birthday celebration for my little one
Great experience! The kids loved it and worth going to see.
My kids loved it. We will be visiting again. ❤️
It was amazing experience me and my son we loved it my son had so much fun highly recommend
